Curtis Mayfield – Tripping Out

This is my nightmare.

How does ANYBODY find clowns funny? It’s the ultimate in deception… they wear bright outfits, make you laugh, become your friend, and then suddenly you’re stuffed into an oil drum sinking to the bottom of a river.

Noooooo thank you. Clowns were created by the devil. That’s what Pat Robertson told me.

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles – Tears Of A Clown

Mayer Hawthorne – Green Eyed Love (Classixx Remix)

It’s Thanksgiving Day here in Canada… cheers friends.

Linda Clifford – Never Gonna Stop

You already know about The Rub’s History Of Hip Hop mixtapes, right? Well, the one and only DJ Eleven returns to Vancouver to take us through the best rap music ever!

You’ll be kicking yourself if you miss this, so get to the good ol’ Metropole this Thursday and get ready to be reminded of all those jams you forgot you loved.

I just hope he plays everything from 1994… I’ma go find my Nautica jacket with matching dyed wallabees.

Bill Withers – Lovely Day (DJ Eleven Remix Do-Over)

Jazmine Sullivan – Bust Your Windows (DJ Eleven Remix)

Oh yeah.

Johnnie Taylor – What About My Love

So yeah. Had a rough night to put it lightly. Here’s how it went:

1. Playing songs for dancing.
2. Power overloads.
3. Speakers go dead.
4. Me wanting to die.
5. Fixed, sound comes back.
6. Repeat 2 thru 5… twice more.

The Gap Band – Outstanding

From the 1972 movie Across 110th Street, this classic soul track from Bobby Womack is like its own short film.

The lyrics are written to create this vivid backdrop and to tell a story of struggle in a difficult New York era. The orchestra makes the tale even more cinematic.

They don’t make songs like this anymore (except for maybe R Kelly, but it’s still not the same…)
